A wire crate latch apparatus having, in a first embodiment, a pivoting member that is continually drawn to a closed position by gravity and that is deflected into a catch when the door having the pivoting member is swung closed. The latch apparatus further includes upper and lower stops to contain a distal end of the pivoting member and to hold the distal end in the position to hit an oblique portion of the catch when the door is closed. In a second embodiment, a sliding latch apparatus is deflected by a catch and is relatively inaccessible from inside of the wire crate by back plates on the latch and catch.

A cable operated mechanical locking external disconnect enclosure for multi-point latch uses. The enclosures provide safety, in that, once the main enclosure door is closed, and the disconnect is turned on, the main enclosure is locked and only automatically unlocks when the disconnect is turned off. Thus, the door of the disconnect enclosure is locked when the disconnect or circuit breakers are turned to the on position. There is also a manual by-pass latch for each door.
